When: March 5Where: Heritage Hall Convention Center, Lexington What: The Williamstown dance team’s pom-pom and hip-hop categories will perform at the national event in Lexington. The meet will be taped and sent to local cable access channels in the summer and will be broadcasted throughout the rest of the year.

As the final seconds ran down to zero, the careers of Haley Rothwell, Chelsea West and Tori Wilhoit came to an end for Lady Demons’ basketball, falling 54-34 to Walton-Verona Feb. 22 at Simon Kenton High School.

The evening didn’t start out well for Williamstown as they only mustered two points in the first quarter and trailed 15-2.

The Braves wanted their season to continue beyond the first round of the 32nd district tournament, but it just wasn’t meant to be, as they fell to Walton-Verona 60-48 Feb. 22 at Simon Kenton High School.

“When it gets time for playoffs, I always say the first one to 50 wins,” Braves coach Jim Hicks said. “Walton-Verona beat us to 50.”

Hicks said his team’s youth showed and that Grant County set out what they wanted to do by getting more shots than Walton-Verona (54-40). The shots just didn’t go in for the Braves.

As the pre-game ceremony began for the Lady Braves seniors Brittany Hearn, Logan Kidwell and Seneca Sullivan, it marked the end of all of the players that were on the team when coach Darrell Guffey came to Grant County in 2006.

For Guffey, it is tough to see them go.

“They are such great girls,” he said. “They are special to us and they will always be in our hearts.”
